Biology Seminar: "The microbial ecology of xenobiotic metabolism", talk by Dr. Libusha Kelly

Sponsored by:
Biology
How is microbial ecology linked to human health? Why does the same perturbation to the microbiome lead to different outcomes in different individuals? Explore a recent finding demonstrating that the abundance and phylogeny of microbial enzymes involved in xenobiotic metabolism correlates with drug metabolism phenotypes (‘metabotypes’) in the human gut.
http://www.kellylab.org/ @microbegrrl Dr. Kelly is in the Departments of Systems & Computational Biology and Microbiology & Immunology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

"The microbial worlds inside us", Dr. Libusha Kelley, Albert Einstein College of Medicine

Sponsored by:
Biology
The microbes that live in our body influence human health. My lab studies how differences in the microbial communities between individuals can affect how we process food and how we respond to drugs. We ask why the same perturbation to the microbiome, for example, exposure to a drug or an inflammatory condition, can lead to different outcomes in different individuals.
Dr. Kelly is with the Departments of Systems & Computational Biology and Microbiology & Immunology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Bio-Neuro Seminar: Dr. Annaleise Beery, Smith College: "Life in groups: the neurochemistry of sociality"

Sponsored by:
Biology
Seminar by Dr. Annaleise Beery, Associate Professor, Smith College, Psychology and Biology Departments; Neuroscience Program: Research in our lab relates to the neurobiology and evolution of mammalian social behavior, particularly social behaviors underlying life in groups. While the neural mechanisms underlying monogamy and parental behavior have been the focus of intense study, much less is known about the mechanisms supporting non-reproductive social behavior between peers.
